'A Failure to Connect the Dots' - WSJ.com: "The antiterror education of President Obama continued yesterday, with his release of a White House report blaming the 'counterterrorism community' as a whole for 'a failure to connect the dots of intelligence' that would have prevented Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from boarding a plane to Detroit on Christmas Day.
Mr. Obama blamed no one in particular for the failure, not even George W. Bush. In one sense this is refreshing. The President said the buck stops with him, not his underlings, and he ordered the usual agencies to review their usual procedures and institute changes to make sure information is shared more quickly and analyzed more comprehensively. This all seems worthwhile as far as it goes, and it may well do some good by shaking up settled behavior patterns, at least for a while."
